"But you should go to see the other great spirits after listening to the request of the Cat God and the expanding Kuraki Company to help Shake. So this time it's Alexander's call, right? Traveling is more important now, right? It's fine for other Familiars to manage this country and work with the people of this country." Dochi
"Guuuu... Why did you say that..."
After that, Rei who kept being called Zubazuba by Dochi started to prepare for the trip to the Country of Heroes. Rei's true intention was that the country's management had calmed down, so Rei thought that he could relax, but what he was thinking at the moment seemed to be busy again.
********
The day after Rei decided to go to the Hero Country. When the Familiars used the information to send messages to key points in the country, more noise than expected occurred. But it wasn't a worry that Rei would disappear from this country. This is from great hope.
In the special knight training center, the man in armor trains again and again. Such a man was more agile than usual and had a loud voice. However, it didn't seem like his feet had stepped on the ground somewhere.
"You guys! Get excited! When His Highness Rei is gone, we'll be sending out a few bodyguards! We can't send that many! Only the outstanding 10 will be sent! Do your best to be chosen by the few.!!"
"Oh !! ""
The Knights compete over who will be the King's companion. Rei didn't have a proper Knight. Hence, there was a possibility that they would become knights under the King's direct control if they made their mark here.
And it is a lifelong honor for them to be able to protect the King they yearn for. Heldias, the head of the former bandits who had taught them, was looking at them with slight envy.
"You will get more energy than usual. As far as I can see that expression... Would you like Dias to be chosen as a companion?" Ano
"…That's true. But I was asked by His Highness Rei to create a Knight and protect this country directly. I can't leave this country now. A worthy Shadow of a Knight. "
"You're serious. But thank you. ... Dias. Our boss, Rei, is still a noble in the Country of Heroes. So one day we want to bring a lot of knights and make a triumphant return to the Country of Heroes. That's it... our dream, We trust it."
"Leave it to me! I will build the best Knight! Hey! Use your body more and swing your sword!"
Hearing the Familiars' thoughts, Dias snorted and gave even stronger instructions. It was a problem if this was spinning idle, but Dias wasn't the kind of guy to make a mistake like that. Once again, Dias found a prince who could be loyal from the bottom of his heart and vowed to protect Rei even if it cost him his life.
By the way, there is a big house which is well decorated. It was a place to meet and stay when guests from outside came, but now the maids did the same thing like cleaning repeatedly, even though there were no guests.
"Are you all? We are servants that can be used by His Highness Rei. Since we are servants, our failure brings shame to our master."
"Yes!"
The maids started walking again and did as they were told. Everyone seemed to have no problem, but in the butler's eyes, a trace of madness was evident. Immediately pay attention and repeat the same operation. They've done it dozens of times, but are still not satisfied.
This butler had once been a special maid for a princess from a certain country in the Fire Nation. However, at one point, war broke out in the country, and the butler fled the country with the princess. After that, however, the butler was caught by the enemy to escape from the princess and escaped after several years of imprisonment. And while wandering around, that maid came to Kuraki's country.
Although there was a vacancy, the maid was exclusively for the princess, so her technical ability was the best in Kuraki's country. Hence, the maid was asked by the Familiars to guide them this way. By the way, it had been decided that the butler himself would follow Rei.
As you can see, the number of people following Rei's journey is large, and it seems that the total number of people will be around 100 people. However, if Rei was originally a king, this number was very small. The reason for this small amount was to prevent it from interfering with the Kuraki Company's activities.
Dochi thought it would be a problem if the King's company had trouble and was beheaded, so common people wouldn't come close. Hence, during the journey, they would act as merchants of Rei, and from the Hero's Country as King Kuraki.
It's a hassle, but it's the best bet. Well, Rei himself didn't understand how he should behave as a King, so Rei did as usual. The people around him would be nervous when they saw the situation, but they had to give up.
However, a slightly bad situation occurred in the meantime.
"Did you hear that? The story of His Highness Rei going to the Country of Heroes."
"Oh, it's a World Noble, so it's a greeting, right?"
"That's what I heard... It seems that His Highness Rei will be chosen as the Hero in this audience with the Hero God."
"Well, what information is that? Isn't that a trick someone threw? You can't know it beforehand."
You are an idiot. Think about it. What His Highness Rei has done so far is exactly what a hero has done! And now our King is a Noble? His Highness a Duke who was chosen as a Hero by simply ascending a few. I, I urged him because I want to choose. If not, I pressed him."
"Well, sure... then really?"
"Our king will become the Hero! We are the people of a country controlled by the Hero."
"It was incredible !!"
"What was the fun of a while ago? It's like His Highness Rei's story..."
"Oh! You've come to the right place. Actually..."
"Somehow rumors spread..." Peace
"…No. I tried contacting the other Familiars and trying to calm the situation down, but it got too excited..." Dochi
"What are you doing... can Rei become a Duke this time?" Peace
"Yu talked to Alexander… they will give him the title of Marquis, but on top of that… the Duke has to be chosen carefully, so this time maybe the Duke will be the first choice… what should we do?" Dochi
"Isn't that bad? What if Rei can't become a hero because of this excitement..." Peace
"People's hearts are separated. I think there is no doubt that the whole country will have an unpleasant atmosphere. To prevent that from happening... Rei must gain enough achievements to become a hero during this journey... I have more things which must be done." Dochi
